As I've indicated in the recent discussion on thyroid, my body
temperature is well below normal, both upon arising and
throughout the day. For example, right now after shoveling snow
for a half hour, my oral temperature is 98.2. For some reason,
though, this does not manifest as a subjective feeling of
coldness.
There was discussion on lowcarb last year about long-term ketosis
downregulating thyroid function, but I don't have any scientific
references on that yet. My guess is that there's something to
it, but it's still an unsubstantiated guess.
